Fedora EC2 images running out of disk space

asked 2014-08-07 02:45:09 -0500

I am using the the official Fedora EC2 cloud AMI to do some development work. By default, the root disk on these these machines is only 2GB. After installing some stuff, I always run out of space and yum starts to complain. The problems seems to be that lots of disk space has been mounted in directories that I am not using.

[fedora@ip-10-75-10-113 ~]$ df -ah
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
rootfs          2,0G  1,6G  382M  81% /
proc               0     0     0    - /proc
sysfs              0     0     0    - /sys
devtmpfs        1,9G     0  1,9G   0% /dev
securityfs         0     0     0    - /sys/kernel/security
selinuxfs          0     0     0    - /sys/fs/selinux
tmpfs           1,9G     0  1,9G   0% /dev/shm
devpts             0     0     0    - /dev/pts
tmpfs           1,9G  172K  1,9G   1% /run
tmpfs           1,9G     0  1,9G   0% /sys/fs/cgroup

I don't have this problem with other EC2 images, such as CentOS or Ubuntu. Is there any way I can start the AMI with a single, unpartitioned disk? Or am I somehow using it in the wrong way?

That is a single partition; tmpfs uses memory then swap when the memory runs out.
